On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.

Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.

    “They…they…they…found ballots…”

    And that’s when I stopped watching.

    That was enough crazy stupid for me.

      Yeah, what kind of reporter/interviewer doesn’t immediately follow up with:

      Who is “They?”

      Where did “they” find these ballots?

      Whose ballots were they? Surely they have names on them??

      After “they” found them, what did “they” do with them? Surely they would parade this proof around on the news circuits or put them on display somewhere since it’s supposedly a corner stone of their narrative?

      No?

      Interesting. End of interview. Stop giving these jerkoff whackjobs a platform.

        Ballots don’t have names on them. Otherwise, yeah, all questions that should have been asked.
